Was rumored that would be the case for a few days, but nobody has given a plausible reason. Big surprise that he didn't pick Sparty.

Nc state is a good value

They get some legit transfers eligible

Maybe Clemson too

Your terrapins might be a decent long shot as well.

Cowans a legitimate All.American candidate

Jalen Smith seems JJJish, Wiggins is legit good, and Ayala seems Carsen Edwardsy.

Jalen Smith
Wiggins
Ayala
Cowan

With Morsell as the 6th Man is as good a 6 man rotation as you'll find. Only.pause is Turge is a terrible coach IMO.

NCAAB Futures markets can have some ridiculous value early in the season.

Like Mid-December last year, Tennessee was Top 10 in Kenpom and still going off at 1000-1 on 5Dimes.

Nevada opened 40-1, now 12-1 locally.

got Nova at 20-1 in December

I grabbed
Tenn 50-1
IU 60-1
Wisconsin 90-1
Kansas St 150-1
Nebraska 200-1

another network put #s up.
grabbed Nebraska 300-1 and Wisconsin 100-1. Nebraska is going to be pretty decent next year.

I think Nebraska will be decent but dont think they have enough top line talent to actually be a top 15 team.

Going to be a weird year this year I think.

Feels like this is a big reloading year all over for CBB. A lot of guys that we'd come to get used to (Purdue core, Butler core, Bonzie, Grayson, Landale, Entire Nova team, Wagner etc) are now gone.

Oregon and LSUs recruiting classes are loaded and they both return really good point guards. They're probably both really good value.

Andy Katz ranked his top 20 returning players for next season.

1. Carsen Edwards - Purdue
2. Luke Maye - UNC
3. Caleb Martin - Nevada
4. Ethan Happ - Wisconsin
5. Kyle Guy - Virginia

Mac

NCAA will allow players to hire an agent and return to school if undrafted among other changes

UK doing scrimmages in Bahamas.

Some early analysis

So we stole a white boy 5* recruit out of Wisconsin, and yeah, Tyler Herro is going to be an absolute fan favorite for his time at Kentucky. Dude is a definitive 5* white boy Wisconsin recruit.

Cal is going to his classic long athletic defensive team. Shooting looks to be questionable...but that is where Herro can make his mark

maybe because I dont follow college ball much, but that's the first time i've ever seen that kid. Holy **** at that athleticism.

I would be shocked if theres a better team than UK. They are great and deep at every position.

Yeah I'm excited. This isn't a Cal team that is going to take a while to get it going. They are going to be elite right from the start. The UK-Duke game is going to be massively hyped.

Anyone up for a draft
